Comminution computer simulation

Principles of Comminution Computer Simulation of Milling Operations Size-Reduction Equipment Crushers Grinders... 

The size distribution of products from various types of size-reduction equipment can be predicted by a computer simulation of the comminution process. This makes use of two basic concepts, that of a grinding-rate function S and a breakage function A5 a. The material in a mill or crusher at any time is made up of partides of many different sizes, and they all interact with one another during the size-reduction process, but for purposes of computer simulation the material is imagined to be divided into a number of discrete fractions (such as the ones retained on the various standard screens) and that particle breakage occurs in each fraction more or less independently of the other fractions.
